To late lol, just put everything back as it was and put the CFL's back, gave it a bit of a wipe down from dust aswell... had to get them back in tonight, cant leave em out in the room overnight.

Think what i will do is leave them to veg for another 2 week with the CFL's and then i'll have the cash to buy the Aerowing, once i have that i will play with the temps again, its kinda pointless when i know i'll be gettin that in the next few week.

Thanks again for all your help and advice though, appreciated... cant Rep u though as its shit lol

yeah i agree with drag's at least u know what ur expecting now and can run some ideas through ur head.
 
Meant to take some pics while they where out, they growin propper bushy, the topping looks ok aswell, only problem i can see is the brown spots that a few of the leaves had have now taken to a few more leaves and they are gettin a bit crinkly, n look like they are wet or burnt, not sure but i think the ph in the soil is a lil high, the Moisture/PH probe i have isnt workin like it should i dont think... whats the best way to check soil PH?

Night Dragon, Fingerez... bit wired after all the messin about so think i might watch Avatar, not seen it yet.

Peace
 
u get some soil and put it in water for a few hours, then test the solution. i'll look it up and send it ur way, cant remember exactly how much soil 2 water u use ;)
 
not my own works


METHOD
The most reliable way of measuring the nutrients present
in the potting mix is to use the 1:1.5 extraction method,
which can be used to determine the EC and pH in the
root environment. The EC and the pH of the drainage
water will normally vary because the potting mix is
capable of holding back a number of elements or even
refusing them. It is best to carry out a 1:1.5 analysis after
three to five weeks. The easiest way to make this analysis
is to follow the plan given below step by step:

1. Take a potting mix sample. This can be done with a
ground drill or a spoon. Take the potting mix from
a large number of different places to ensure that
the sample is representative.

2. Put the sample in a bowl and determine if it
is moist enough. This is done by squeezing
some potting mix in your hand; if
moisture comes out it is OK. To
increase the sample’s moisture content
add distilled water. (i used bottled water) Mix the potting mix
well after adding water.

3. Take a 250 ml measuring jug and fill it with
150 ml of distilled water. Add potting mix to
bring the volume up to 250 ml, mix it well
and leave it for at least 2 hours.
4. Mix it well once again and measure the pH.
5. Filter the mixture that you now have and
measure the EC. Target values for the EC are
between 1.1 and 1.3 and for the pH between 5.8
and 6.2.

i'm not sure but i think you measure the water that runs out of the pots when you water them but don't quote me on that lads

not using anything at the moment, think they enough in the soil for the veging... when it comes to flower though i'll be using canna flores, cannaboost and canna PK 13/14

I got a feeding schedule from the canna website, and just omited the veg nutes and fungus ones.
 
i'm not sure about the soil but i do remember u saying it had nutes in it. download some ebooks and look through the health sections that might give u a clue. going bed mate, take it easy.
